Kessel will be a special player in this league. A step down from Elite.

I have a man crush on Chara.

From what I have seen of the Bruins is that Julien loves to line match, that's all he does and he is successful with that. The Bruins are a hardworking team, reminds me of the Flames of 04. Work for everything and chip in some goals.

That's what I have seen in the 5 or so games I have watched._________________

I love Phil the Thrill, he's an incredibly skilled player, but I don't see him being a 90-100+ point player in this league. He isn't physical enough to fight for possession and, thus, goals. Put a stud facilitator on his line at center, and he can be more effective. His passing skills leave a lot to be desired.

But when he has the puck in the open ice, watch out._________________Bruins // Patriots // Red Sox // Chelsea

It's pretty hard to give them any attention when you have the Patriots, Red Sox, and Celtics all in one city.

And...they were still once a very popular team, and the Patriots were once a very non-popular team, you see where I'm going?_________________"There are stories of coincidence and chance, of intersections and strange things told, and which is which and who only knows; and the book says we may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us."

Im a hardcore bruins fan and just wanted to stop by and say what up to you guys.

What do you think of this recent streak we are on. I thik we have a great chane to cathc Montreal ( I dont understand how they trade their number 1 goalie to leave it in the hands of a rookie), and we could take 5th in teh conference. I would prefer to be 6 so we can play eith carolina or Washington, that gives us the best chance to make it past the first round, i jsut cant see us matchign up in a 7 game seris agaisnt Pitts, NJ, Ottawa (even though they are sliding).

I hope we can keep this streak going, Our defense has been playing awsome and we are getting very good play from our checking line, probably on of the best in the NHL right now, we have been able to adjust when players get hurt and have gotten great contributions from our young guys, i love Petteri Nakalinan and Sobotka, they both play like hteir Chara sized and hit like mack trucks for littler players,

I love our gritty play and how where not afraid to take it to teams, i think were one of the most physical teams in the league and people know when they played the Bruins. We may not have what it take this year, but the blueprint is there and we are looking more and more attractive to big name FA._________________

*Sigh* Thanks for the insight, and your perserverence finding this thread.

As for our streak, it's a clear statement to Ottawa, New Jersey, and Pittsburgh that we are for real, and that we are a legitimate contender to reach the Eastern Conference Finals. I leave Montreal out of that list because they still are 6-0 against the Bruins this year. We have two games to prove that we can beat the Canadiens.

god game agaisnt the Thrasher, it was hard fought and we came away with the two points.

next up Washington, today.

We need to shut down that top line and get some early goals, hopefully they play Kolzig, Huet is coming off a shutout.

We need to win this one in regulation and continue putting pressure on NYR and Pitt to continue winning or we could pas them (i know where ahead of NYR right now) Ottawo is still slipping and if they keep this up tey could fal to 7-8 in the conference.

Ah, now that i'm just replying to this today, your post is depressing to me.

I looked away from the Panthers-Bruins game a couple days ago for literally 10 seconds. Wrong 10 seconds. Nathan Horton scored before I could catch my breath. Lame game. One point, I guess we'll take it.
